Engaging listeners with its vivid relatability, ‘Train Rider’ envisions an instant moment of attraction between strangers.

Produced by Matt Weir and Pete Wallace – known for their work with Bryan Adams – ‘Train Rider’ introduces listeners to a collection of highly-anticipated original tracks, set to be released by Henley throughout the year.

After years of writing and performing in Toronto, Nashville, and London, Jacob Henley moved from Canada to Dublin in 2018. Having devoted the past twelve months to developing his unique vocal and playing style, Henley has quickly earned wide acclaim, across Ireland and beyond.

Besides writing and recording his own music, Henley has also contributed to co-writes with an array of Irish musicians. Most notably, his vocals and writing feature on ‘Every Line & Curve’, the recent alt-pop single from Irish producer 1000 Beasts.
